Mailbox Heaven

My mailbox has been bursting with lots of wonderful goodies from friends old and new. First off came a package of fabric from Carrie. She was generous enough to send me (and many more of her blog readers) stacks of fabric. The colors couldn't have been more perfect. I haven't decided what to do with it quite yet but as every other project I do these days seems to have pink in it I won't have to wait long to use it.

Happy, happy fabric! There is even a pink toile tucked in there...I just couldn't be happier. Thanks for your kindness Carrie.

The next box was from Kim and the Just A Kid swap. For a "not a swap kind of girl" I am doin' lots of these things. What fun to open the cute green box filled with lots of kid fun. I loved the chocolate (luckily this arrived before the massive heat wave.) The very best part was the handkerchief with blue tulips on it. That couldn't have been more perfect!. I adore kinder eggs and there were three in the box also. They are gone now believe me.

Finally came a lovely set of tiles from Debra. They are so beautifully made. There was also a handmade card (my favorite kind) and a cute little magnet. I do feel quite spoiled!

I have been madly getting things ready to send out also...it is not all incoming. Orders to fill, Club Little House to send on its merry way to Amy and the Coloriffic and Just A Kid Swap. This has been a great way to keep myself from really cleaning this house. The dust bunnies are threatening to take over so I need to spend this week getting this place habitable.
